Regulation 11

If in any case the Authority considers that the public interest requires an officer to cease to exercise the powers and functions of his office or be suspended from his work immediately, the Authority may interdict the officer from the exercise of the powers and functions of his office or suspend him from his work if criminal proceedings or proceedings for his dismissal or reduction in rank are being contemplated.

Subject to regulation 14(1), an officer who has been interdicted or suspended from his work may be allowed to receive such portion of the emoluments of his office for such period during the period of interdiction or suspension as the Authority shall think fit, or the Authority may order the withholding of his total emoluments.

If the proceedings against an officer do not result in the dismissal or other punishment of the officer, he shall be entitled to the full amount of the emoluments which he would have received had he not been interdicted or suspended.

If the punishment is other than dismissal, the officer may be refunded such portion of the emoluments withheld as a result of his interdiction or suspension, as the Authority shall think fit.
